Yep, i made the mistake of letting my father do the gardening at my place. These trees will give you a lot of shade son he said, don't worry son it's all good he said. LOL after about 16 years this is what happens. I'm not a gardener I am a backyard engineer it's in my blood :)

Hi you seem to be having the same trouble as me, my workshop collapsed after being under mined by seven badgers we had warned the local council who refused to remove them.I did not know how bad things were until starting the repairs most had to be replaced and steel plates in the main roof 35 sheets of plywood hundreds of feet of rafters and floor joists and £2,400 of roofing sheets,plus new led lights I hope its all finished soon.

Sounds like those badgers are a pest in your country? Glad we don't have them here, but we do have our share of pest one of which are possums. Can you use traps to catch them and dispose them?

Got the angle grinder and cut out the 16 sections on the SS tube and use a bit of heat then tap down the sections to form the concentric reducer.
